  3. 2 Liver Cancer: Liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a type of cancer that starts in the liver cells. It is a serious condition that often goes undetected until it reaches advanced stages. The liver, a vital organ responsible for various metabolic functions, can be affected by primary liver cancer or HCC originating in the liver itself or metastatic liver cancer spreading from other parts of the body. This cancer ranks as the fifth most prevalent cancer globally, yet stands as the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Chronic infections of hepatitis B and C viruses contribute significantly to the majority of liver cancer cases. +918130290915/ +91-120–4080562 info@indiangenericmedicines.com 905 I-Thum Business Park, Plot No.-40, Block A, Unit No. 5, Tower A, Sector 62, Noida 201301 (INDIA) https://indiangenericmedicines.com 2

  5. 4 Treatments: Treatment of liver cancer depends on several factors, including the stage of the cancer, the patient's overall health, and personal preferences. Common treatment modalities include: ➢Surgery: Surgical procedures such as liver resection (removing part of the liver), liver transplant, or tumor ablation may be recommended for early- stage liver cancer. ➢Radiation Therapy: High-energy rays are considered to target and demolish unhealthy (cancer) cells. ➢Chemotherapy: Drugs are administered orally or intravenously to kill cancer cells or slow down their growth. ➢Targeted Therapy: Medications such as cabozantinib tablets, lenvatinib, regorafenib, and sorafenib are used to target specific abnormalities in cancer cells, inhibiting their growth. ➢Immunotherapy: Treatment that boosts the body's immune system to fight cancer cells. +918130290915/ +91-120–4080562 info@indiangenericmedicines.com 905 I-Thum Business Park, Plot No.-40, Block A, Unit No. 5, Tower A, Sector 62, Noida 201301 (INDIA) https://indiangenericmedicines.com 4

  6. 5 Complications: Liver cancer can lead to various complications, especially if left untreated or undiagnosed. Some potential complications include: ➢Liver failure: Advanced liver cancer can impair liver function, leading to liver failure. ➢Portal hypertension: Liver cancer can obstruct blood flow through the liver, causing high blood pressure in the portal vein. ➢Ascites: Accumulation of fluid in the abdomen due to liver dysfunction. ➢Hepatic encephalopathy: Buildup of toxins in the blood, affecting brain function. ➢Metastasis: Liver cancer can spread to other organs, such as the lungs or bones, leading to further complications. +918130290915/ +91-120–4080562 info@indiangenericmedicines.com 905 I-Thum Business Park, Plot No.-40, Block A, Unit No. 5, Tower A, Sector 62, Noida 201301 (INDIA) https://indiangenericmedicines.com 5

  7. 6 Protection and Prevention: While certain risk factors for liver cancer, such as family history and underlying liver diseases, cannot be changed, there are steps individuals can take to reduce their risk and protect their liver health: ➢Limit alcohol consumption: Excessive alcohol intake can increase the risk of liver cancer. Moderation is key. ➢Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity and being overweight are risk factors for liver cancer. Adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise can help maintain a healthy weight. ➢Get vaccinated: Hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses are known risk factors for liver cancer. Getting vaccinated against hepatitis B and practicing safe sex can reduce the risk of infection. ➢Avoid risky behaviors: Intravenous drug use and unprotected sex can increase the risk of hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections, which are linked to liver cancer. ➢Monitor liver health: Individuals with chronic liver diseases, such as cirrhosis or fatty liver disease, should undergo regular screenings and follow-up care to detect liver cancer early. +918130290915/ +91-120–4080562 info@indiangenericmedicines.com 905 I-Thum Business Park, Plot No.-40, Block A, Unit No. 5, Tower A, Sector 62, Noida 201301 (INDIA) https://indiangenericmedicines.com 6
